    Whatever I was given, just like everyone else!

    Hasn't this already been covered?

    PanzerAG, I like the avatar, it's almost true, real men RIDE tanks, not everyone drives ;)

    LOL You beat me to it Stefan :D. A soldier was meant to use what was issued to him and he really had no choice in what. And yes it has been discussed before quite a few times. :rolleyes:

    Why explosives? Everyone goes on about them but it's not like in the games where you leave a charge and destroy a tank, as a rule it was normally specially trained engineers who used explosives to destroy obstacles and the like, the best most people would ever see is a hawkins mine or similar.

    I have owned, OPERATED and used quite a few weapons in my life. If I were given a choce to wield one I would choose a Scottish Claymore or a Ghurka Khukri.

    Red tape and more red tape! There's a thread on that at the Free Fire Zone :)

    So you don't want to be a MG42 gunner anymore? Is it up close and personal now? :D

    Thompson. Effective at close combat and in mid range shooting, less chance of jamming unlike the M1 Garand, and some upgrades available (I know it wasn't frequently used, but it's better to have some that actually exist). It is also compact, has a high caliber (I believe that decreases accuracy but the impact damage is immense?)... and yea too many other things to name. It's a great all-round weapon
